Havelte, Westerveld
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Parkkamp sits in a quiet part of Havelte, surrounded by greenery. With 165 m² of living space on a 647 m² plot, it offers room to spread out. The energy label is E, which in a neighbourhood where most homes have better labels means higher heating costs to expect. At €635,000, the asking price is in line with the market, the average for a detached home in Westerveld is around €645,000. See more detached houses in Westerveld.
Havelte scores a 6.2 out of 10 from three residents. One resident calls it a "quiet space nature" with a "nice neighbourhood with diverse ages" and a "good atmosphere". Another describes it as a "lovely little village" where "everyone knows everyone" and shops and school are within walking distance. A third review, however, paints a starkly different picture: "petty working-class neighbourhood, full of gossip and intrigue", with a "harsh, somewhat hateful culture" and a "self-contained community cut off from the rest of the country". The neighbourhood has 3,225 inhabitants, with a mix of ages and a high proportion of single-person households. For more context, see Havelte.
For your daily bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, about a five-minute walk away. The nearest primary school, OBS De Bosrank, is also a couple of streets away. For secondary education, you'd need to travel further, the nearest is 8.9 km away. The village also has a restaurant and a library within walking distance. The municipality of Westerveld covers a large rural area, so a car is handy for most errands. Read more about municipality Westerveld.

Nice neighbourhood with diverse ages. Good atmosphere, quiet, next to nature. Really nice to live
Auto-translated to English by AIA lovely little village to live in, everyone knows everyone culture. School, shops and swimming pool within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AIPetty working-class neighbourhood, full of gossip and intrigue. Bullying culture. Excluding those who think differently. If you're an outsider, not 'working-class' enough, if your social position is very low, you're a target. Harsh, somewhat hateful culture. Two groups: the golf club elite and the Boer and Burger supporters. I belong to neither and therefore find no connection. I find the alcohol consumption and the frequent violence striking. Things that are overlooked. Their own customs, own rules, own laws. A self-contained community cut off from the rest of the country. They only respect rules if they can use them to muzzle people they don't like. And those rules never apply to them. A very strange culture. After 11 years, I still marvel at it every day. The municipality only stands up for its own kind. Very authoritarian, biased and corrupt. Corrupt: cronyism and conflicts of interest. Building one-sided dossiers against people they don't like. As for nature: everything is being demolished, for the past 10 years. The forests have been thinned out, stripped for financial gain. Facilities: without a car you're far from everything and the bus sometimes doesn't run at all. So you stand at the bus stop for an hour waiting for the next one. I sometimes think of Pommetje Horlepiep here.

About Parkkamp 27, Havelte
The asking price of €635,000 is close to the average sale price of €541,411 for homes sold in Havelte recently, and slightly below the average asking price of €645,700 for current listings. Given the 165 m² floor area and 647 m² plot, the price per m² (€3,848) is a bit above the neighbourhood average of €3,627, but the house is a detached property, which typically commands a premium.
The home has energy label E. In Havelte, 50% of homes have label A or better, so this property is less efficient than average. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a home with a better label. The exact costs depend on usage and energy prices.
Havelte has a mix of ages, with 425 households with children and 525 without. There is a primary school within walking distance (OBS De Bosrank at 650 m). However, secondary education is 8.9 km away, so a car or bus is needed for older children. The village has a supermarket, restaurant, and library nearby.
The nearest train station is 9.5 km away, so commuting by rail requires a car or bus to the station. Bus services exist but may be infrequent, one resident noted that "the bus sometimes doesn't run at all" and you could wait an hour. A car is almost essential for getting around.
Resident reviews are mixed. While some praise the quiet, nature, and community spirit, one long-term resident describes a culture of gossip, exclusion, and cronyism, and notes that facilities are limited without a car. The municipality is also criticised as biased. It's worth visiting the village to get your own feel.
Currently, there are 10 homes for sale in Havelte, with an average price of €645,700. Detached homes make up a large share of the housing stock (81% are single-family homes). This particular home is one of the few detached options on the market.
